Shocking video shows crumbling truck held together by tarps

A video capturing a crumbling semi truck on the road has left viewers dumbfounded. The clip shows a truck held together by straps and tarps, rumbling down a road in very poor condition, possibly in Argentina.

The truck: As the video continues, it's clear that not just the trailer is in bad shape. The Mercedes cabover's roof is mostly missing, and what's left partially covers the windshield. The driver peers through a small gap to see the road.

  • The video raises concerns about the risks some drivers take to complete urgent deliveries.
  • While it's uncertain what the load was, the truck's condition is a stark contrast to typical safety standards.

The takeaway: No additional information is available about the truck's destination or if any regulatory actions were taken.
